Tamsyn Whelan, Amy Roberts and Jade Kirby
with the Year 1 Fashion group
Fashion students at ncn have designed a range of unique t-shirts from recycled rubbish as part of a project run by Veolia Environmental Services Nottinghamshire.
The project, aimed at raising awareness of the importance of reducing, re-using and recycling waste, tasked the students to design and produce a t-shirt made purely out of recycled waste materials.
Level 1 Fashion student Tamsyn Whelan, 16, scooped first prize and was awarded £100 from Veolia Environmental Services. Jade Kirby took second place receiving £50. The company also contributed £350 towards an overseas study trip for ncn Year 1 Fashion students.
Amy Roberts, Veolia Waste Awareness Officer, said “The project has been an excellent way of raising awareness about waste and the importance of recycling. I found it extremely difficult to pick the winning designs as the standard of the students’ work was so high.”
